She rolled her eyes and slid into the seat, and I closed the door behind her before circling around to the driver’s side. The driver bowed his head at me "Alpha" I whispered the destination I wanted him to take us too and he nodded. Once we were on the road, I could see her glancing at me from th
JACKSON'S POV I took Gina straight to the palace doctor with the help of the guards. Gina’s fingers clutched mine tightly but I didn’t mind. The doctor had just confirmed what we had been hoping for—Gina was pregnant. I could hardly believe it. It was the best news of my life. Finally, I was going
ELISE'S POV The long drive to Ferris’s pack felt like a dream. I couldn't believe I actually left my pack. I was free. I never thought I'd ever leave. It had been my home. I leaned back in the seat, gazing out the window as the scenery gradually changed. The world outside grew greener and even
As soon as I got into my chambers, there was a knock on my door. I tilted my head to the side, groaning. I couldn't even catch a break, could I? "Come in" I said. The door opened, revealing Alexandra. "Alex" I said, taking off my jacket "What is it?" "The council is already in session. They'
FERRIS' POV As soon as I shut the door behind me, the concerns of the council came back to haunt me. I expected this—of course, I did. I knew they wouldn't accept Elise, not as she is now. Not a stranger to them, not a divorced Luna from another pack. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm the emotions
ELISE'S POV I sat on the edge of the bed, brushing through my hair absentmindedly as I stared at the walls of my new room. It was still hard to believe that this was where I’d be staying for a while. It was so different from my old life. The people here seemed friendly but I had a feeling that a lo
FERRIS' POV I hadn’t expected to see her, not tonight. My chest still heaved from what I’d done moments before. I remembered how I touched myself from imagining her—the way she moved, the way she might sound under my touch, how beautiful she was. And yet here she was, standing in my doorway like
Her words cut deeper than I thought they would. She didn’t want to be a Luna anymore. She didn’t want me. And for reasons I couldn’t explain, that hurt like hell. I should have let it go. I should’ve respected her decision and left it at that. But I couldn’t. The need to tease her, to push her jus
She leaned into my touch, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them again. “You better be right.”I smiled, lowering my lips to hers. “I am.”I kissed her, slow and deep, pouring everything I felt into that kiss—my love, my devotion, my need for her. She melted into me, her hands sliding up
FERRIS’ POVI wanted nothing more than to yank the door open and tell Joan off myself, but Elise’s gentle hand on my arm stopped me. Her touch alone had the power to take me down, to make me listen when all I wanted was to act.“I’ll handle this,” she said.My Lycan growled in displeasure, but I tru
FERRIS’ POVI walked through the infirmary doors. The scent of antiseptic filled the air, but it was Elise’s scent that captured my focus the moment I stepped inside. She sat up in bed with her dark curls falling over her shoulders. Her bright brown eyes lit up the instant she saw me."Ferris!" she
ELISE’S POVSomething wasn’t right. No—someone wasn’t right. And my gut told me that someone was Gina.I glanced at Eden.“Don’t mention that Jackson woke up,” I whispered.Eden’s brows furrowed. “Why?”“Because if Gina is behind this, we need to play our cards close to our chest. If she knows Jacks
ELISE’S POVThe soft sounds of the television filled the hospital room. There was a movie playing that I barely paid attention to. I sighed, shifting slightly under the covers. I felt restless despite the nurses' constant assurances that I needed to take it easy. They had been overly attentive, bri
ELISE’S POVPain. Blinding hot pain tore through me like wildfire. It felt like it was burning every nerve in my body. My breaths came in short, ragged gasps as I was rushed through the palace halls. My fingers clutched weakly at Ferris’s hand. He carried me and I could feel the worry radiating off
ELISE’S POVThe moment Joan’s loud voice echoed through the grand hall, I knew something was terribly wrong.“He tried to take advantage of me!” Joan screamed, pointing a trembling finger at Ferris. Her face was filled with desperation and fury. “The great Alpha is nothing more than a predator in di
Sophia’s gaze softened as she nodded, but there was something in her eyes. “Just… be careful, Elise. Trust your instincts. They won’t lie to you.”I walked out of the palace and made my way outside.When I arrived at the garden, I was stunned by its beauty. It was like stepping into another world—a
ELISE’S POVI wanted to look my best. I had to.Ferris had invited me, and despite the anger I felt, I couldn’t help but yearn to see him, to feel him close again. Maybe I was a fool, but I loved him. I loved him in a way that went beyond reason, beyond the things that had happened between us. My he
